CHAPTER XIV.


Barville and Miss Haldane. 1t took plac
ten days since, But / have had 30 man,
things to look after in the absence OF tn
master and the mistress of this house tina
| am only able to write 70 you to-day.
The invitations TO the wedding wert
limited to members of the families on eithe
side, in consideration of the i'll health o
Miss Haldane's aunt. On the side Of thu
Montbarry family there were present, be
sides Lord and Lady Montbarry, Sir Theo
dore and Lady Baryill, Mrs. Norbury
whom you may remember as his lord
ships second sister, and Mr.. Frauci:
Westwick and Mr.. Henry Westwick. The
three children and attended the cermony
as trademarks. We were joined By three
young ladies, cousins OF the bride and very
agreeable girls. Our dresses were white,
trimmed with green in honor of Ireland,
and we each had q handsome gold bracelet
given to us rs = present from the bride
groom. If you add to the persons whom ]
have already mentioned the elder members
Of Mrs. Carbury'S family, and the Old
servants in both hOuses-priyileged to
drink the healths of the married pair at
the lower end OF the room-yOu will have
the list of the company at the wedding
breakfast complete.
The weather was perfect, and the cere-
mony with music was beautifully per
formed. As for the bride, no words can
describe how lovely she looked, or how
we'll she went through it all. We were
very merry at the breakfast, and the
speeches went of, on the whole, quite we'll
enough. The last speech before the party
broke up vas made by Mr.. Henry West
wick, and was the best of all. He made a
happy suggestion at the end, which has pro-
duced a very unexpected change in my life
here.
AS we'll as l remember, he concluded
in these words: On one point we are all
agreed-weaIe sorry that the parting hour
is near, and we should be glad to meet
again. Why should we not meet again:
This is the autumn time OF the year; we
are most of US leaving home for the holi-
days. What doyOu say IF you have NO
engagements that will prevent it, to join,
ing cur young married friends before the
close of their tour, and renewing the social
success of this delightful breakfast by an-
other festival in honor of the honeymoon:
The bride and bridegroom are going to
Germany and the Tyrol, on their way Ia
Italy. / propose that we allow them a
month to themselves, and that we arrange
to meet them afterward in the north OF
ltaly-say at Venice
This proposal was received with great
applause, which was changed into shouts
OF laughter by no less q person than my
dear old nurse. The moment Mr.. West
wick pronounced the word Venice she
started up among the servants at the lower
end OF the room, and called out at the top
of her voice: Go to our hotel, ladies aud
gentlemen. We get 6 per cent on our
money air eady, and if you will only crowd
the place and call for the best of everything
it will be 10 per cent in our pockets in No
time. Ask Master henry.'
Appealed to in this irresistible manner
Mr.. Westwick had 10 choice but to explain
that he was concerned as shareholder in a
Gew hotel company at Venice, aud that he
had invested q small sum of money for the
nurse-nOt very considerably, as think
in the speculation. Hearing this the com
pany, by way Ofhumoring the joke, drank
a new toast: Success to the Nurses Hotel
and a Speedy Rise in the Dividend
"When the conversation returned in due
time to the more serious question of the
proposed meeting at Venice difficulties be.
gan to present themselves, caused, OF
course, by invitations for the autumn
which many OF the guests had already &C.
cepted. Only two members of Mrs. Car,
buTy'S family were ut liberty to keep the
proposed appointment. Ga our side we
were more at leisure to do AZ VT pleased.
Mr.. Henry Westwick decided to 20 to
Venice in advance OF the rest, to test the
accommodation Of the new hotel on the
opening day. Mrs. Norbury and Mr..
Francis Westwick volunteered to follow
him; aud after some persuasion Lord and
Lady MOutbarry consented to a species OF
compromises. His IOrdship could not con,
yeuiently spare time enough for the journey
10 Venice, but he and Lady MOntbarry
arranged to accompany Mrs. NOrbury and
Mr.. Francis WestwicK as tar on their way
to Italy rs Paris. Five days since they
took their departure to meet their travelling
companions in London, leaving me here in
charge of the three dear children. They
begged hard, Of course, to be taken with
papa and mamma. But it was thought
better not to interrupt the progress of theil
education, and not to expose themes
p~ecially the two younger girls-to the IA
tigUeS Of travelling.

Agnes had just closed and directed he
letter when the eldest of her three pupil
entered the room with the startling IN
nouncement that Lord Montbarry's travel
ing servant had arrived from Paris
Alarmed by the idea that some misfortun
